Inspirations

In my initial research while brainstorming I came across this picture which inspired me to do Deforestation and I actually think I'm going to do my own representation of that picture as well. Here's the picture here:

After seeing this picture I went to look on to other artists who've done similar things and these are the pictures that I've took some inspiration from and here the web address if you want to look at the website for yourself. http://www.anothermag.com/art-photography/3318/top-10-collage-artists-hannah-hoch-to-man-ray 

 

These have inspired me to recreate the picture with the tree stump and the tree by taking a picture of a tree stump and then taking a picture of a tree, printing the tree picture off, ripping it and then taking a picture of me holding the torn picture in front of a black background and using the magic wand tool on Photoshop to get rid of the black background and placing and editing it to the right place.

The artists above are called: Hannah Höch, John Stezaker and Jesse Treece. The reason I used a website of the top 10 collage artists is because it gives me way more information on them! Take Hannah Höchs' pictue for example, this is what was written about it. "Höch’s most famous work, effortlessly titled ‘Cut with the Dada Kitchen Knife through the Last Weimar Beer-Belly Cultural Epoch in Germany’, shows her ideals and techniques in synthesis. A collage of newspaper clippings, the work challenges the racist and sexist codes upholding Weimar Germany. Throughout her career, Höch would challenge the marginalised place of women in twentieth century Germany. She drew together fashion magazines, illustrated journals and photography to pioneer a form bent on demonstrating that art itself could be collected from the everyday clutter of modern life." This gives you tons of interesting information and what the picture is about and why she created this specific image.
